A number of parents have said they are concerned about how the bus service for school pupils between Mannofield and Hazlehead operated on Wednesday 21st August.

Following a request from local residents, the city council is holding an election to reestablish Ashley and Broomhill Community Council.

After I called for action, Aberdeen City Council has agreed to replace dead and missing street trees on a number of roads in our area.

There is no sign that building work will recommence anytime soon at the derelict lock up garages at the Great Western Road end of Salisbury Terrace.

Council staff have told me that the areas of grass around Garthdee which have been left uncut this year will not be cut in future and will be left as “natural areas”.

The Roads Service has agreed to fill potholes and repair broken areas in streets in our area after I highlighted problems and urged that action was taken.

Council staff have agreed to a request I made and will either replace or refurbish the benches and picnic table at the play area at Craigielea Gardens.

Earlier this month I urged the council to treat weeds growing in street gutters and on pavements across our area. I took this action after being contacted by concerned residents.

Thank you to everyone who has contacted me about problems with council grass cutting of open spaces in our area. I have highlighted to council staff every problem raised with me. I am also arranging to meet the manager responsible for grass cutting.

Aberdeen City Council finally cut the grass of the playing field at “The Woodies” off Broomhill Road earlier this week after I urged them to do so. I took action after I was told about the problem by residents.
